Why Convert HTML to Markdown?
Markdown is the preferred format for READMEs, documentation, note-taking tools like Obsidian, and platforms like GitHub and Notion. But content often arrives as HTML — from CMS exports, web page copies, email newsletters, or legacy documentation. Stripping that HTML manually and reformatting it as Markdown is slow and tedious.
Handytool's HTML to Markdown converter handles the translation in one step. Paste any HTML snippet or page source, click Convert, and the tool outputs clean Markdown that works in GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Obsidian, and any other CommonMark-compatible renderer. Nothing is uploaded, so confidential source code, internal docs, or proprietary web content stays on your machine.
How to Convert HTML to Markdown
- 01
Paste your HTML
Paste any HTML — a web page snippet, a CMS export, an email template, or documentation source — into the left pane.
- 02
Click Convert
The right pane fills with clean Markdown immediately. Tags are replaced with their Markdown equivalents: h1 becomes #, strong becomes **, a becomes [text](url), and so on.
- 03
Copy or download the Markdown
Use Copy to paste the Markdown into a README, note-taking app, or documentation platform. Click Download to save a .md file.

Private by Design — Runs Entirely in Your Browser
The converter is a JavaScript library running in your browser tab. When you paste HTML and click Convert, nothing is sent over the network — the transformation runs on your machine in milliseconds. Paste confidential source code, internal documentation, or proprietary web templates without any risk of that content reaching a third-party server.
The tool works offline too. Once the page has loaded you can disconnect from the internet and keep converting. HTML that has no Markdown equivalent — like inline CSS, custom attributes, or JavaScript — is either simplified to its semantic structure or passed through as-is so no content is silently dropped.
HTML to Markdown FAQ
How do I convert HTML to Markdown online?
Paste your HTML into the left pane and click Convert. The Markdown appears in the right pane immediately. Use Copy or Download to take the result wherever you need it.
Which HTML elements are supported?
h1–h6, p, strong, em, ul, ol, li, blockquote, a, img, code, and pre are all converted to their Markdown equivalents.
Can I use the output in a GitHub README?
Yes. The converter uses ATX headings and fenced code blocks, which are fully supported by GitHub Flavored Markdown. Paste the result directly into any .md file.
Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?
No. The converter runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored.
Why does some formatting look different after conversion?
Inline styles, CSS classes, and HTML-only attributes (colors, custom fonts, data attributes) have no Markdown equivalent and are dropped. Semantic structure — headings, emphasis, links, lists — is fully preserved.
Does it handle tables?
Tables are converted to GitHub-Flavored Markdown pipe-table syntax when the structure is straightforward. Complex tables with merged cells may be simplified.
